If they can make it available for Android, can we have it for Linux in general? That's the one thing holding me back from renewing my subscription.

- sandipc 15y agoit's not available for all of Android just yet - it is limited to a set of < 10 devices for now... so I'm guessing open Linux support is a while away
- lukebaker 15y agoAccording to the keynote at Google I/O, Google has been working with Netflix to get it working on Chromebooks. I would hope this means inside the Chrome browser everywhere.
- zacharypinter 15y agoI really hope it runs in all Chrome browsers. However, at the very least, Linux users should now be able to run ChromeOS in a VM instead of Windows for Netflix.
- minalecs 15y agothey've already announced HTML5 support with chrome and native client.

- minalecs 15y agothats what I think they are using native client for security/DRM http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/ http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/
- ikono 15y agoIs Netflix using WebM too?
- ambiguity 15y agoDoubtful since Netflix already runs on several Linux devices, most notably the Roku, the Boxee Box and the WD Live TV. Just like with android devices it all comes down to built DRM which regular Linux distributions will not support.
